The Sustainable Protein Forum is dedicated to providing insights into the highly dynamic landscape of alternative proteins.
The annual conference was initially named the Pulse Science and Technology Forum: An international symposium on analysis, nutrition and applications of plant proteins. The event was held November 5-7, 2019, in Toronto, Canada, and convened leading research organizations from the USA and Canada.
Select presentations can be viewed in the Open Forum Library on AOCS inform|connect. Visit the Library and open the “Plant Proteins” folder to see the full list of available presentations.
After a successful first year, the conference continued with a new name that better encompassed its scope. Renamed the Plant Protein Science and Technology Forum, the event was held online in October 2020. Live presentations combined with interactive question and answer sessions gave participants access to the latest information on the analysis, nutrition, and applications of plant proteins.
